[cobalt-users] Log Files and Rotation

["Terry Brown" <terry@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have a site which has a high throughput. The log files average 20Gb per
day. With the current RAQ4 settings every day or two days the old log file
is compressed and the old file deleted. Also the compressed file is deleted
every time it is updated and seems to be limited at about 1.5Mb. We want to
be able to have larger log files, zipped with the old zips retained. We
understand alterations can be made to logrotate.conf and wonder if anyone
has done this and can advise what setting we should use.

Does "copytruncate" auto create copies of old files?
Should "olddir" be used to hold old logs (standard and compressed)?
I assume "size" limits log file size (standard and compressed)?
Is there a recommended limit on log file size?

Will these work with webalizer?
